damage, mainly dents and scratches. What I am just now finding out is that
the screen doesn't sit perfectly and when you close the screen the laptop
stays running and doesn't go on sleep. How does the laptop know when the

But I've checked that theory out and it can not be repeated.

As long as you're doing a file-based (not block level) clone, the
destination volume needs to be only big enough to hold the data on
the source.

For PATA, however, I would go with a Pioneer or a Lite-On.
You should be able to replace the drive with a 16X one from Lite-On

IF you can stand the increase in file size, go for more DPI. Absent a
rescan of the original, it's information that can never be duplicated.
I am really leaning towards 1200 dpi, but aproximately 70%

One thing that never got mentioned was how much storage this project

Have you considered making at least one hard copy of the whole thing,

I forgot to mention how fragile that recorded surface of a CD or DVD

it.
I've had good luck with Pioneers. The 18x drive (DVR-112?) I got has
